Red Rhododendron in my back garden II

Buds are forming now, this one will bloom early May. I love to watch the Rhododendron buds in Fall and Winter, they are so promising of color and seem example of vigor.

When I first came to Portland, Oregon it was end of December, early January and I was seeing so many Rhododendrons everywhere, I was amazed especially watching the buds, and they did not fail to enchant once they started blooming.

This one is red and beautiful, got some damage during hot Summers the last several years but coming back beautifully.

I have Four different ones, one has never done very well where tt is planted, and I have a really large pink one, and a semi large lavender one. Depending on the type, like Camellias they can be blooming all through the year.

 

So, I have photo number one and photo number two, I could not decide which one I like more, which one do you like more :)

 

please see large :)
